Berlin: German football giants Bayern Munich are celebrating their striker Arjen Robben. Despite his turning 34 in January 2018, the Dutchman is still passionate about winning titles.
Having scored the 1-0 lead against Borussia Dortmund (3-1) makes Robben the most successful foreign player in the history of the 2013 Champions League winners. Robben scored his 93rd league goal, going past Brazilian striker Giovane Elber with 92.
The winger is currently the most successful player in the German Bundesliga when it comes to achieving big chances.
The former Dutch international could soon be rewarded with a new contract.
Thirty four is an age in professional sports which does not leave much space for great dreams in the future.
"You get aware of the time running out. I know time will come for Franck and me, sooner or later," Robben told the German media while talking about his and teammate Franck Ribery's future.
He might as well play his last season, Robben commented while his father and manager Hans reported about plans to begin talks with Bayern as early as next spring to negotiate a new contract.
The 2010 World Cup runner-up is convinced that age does not count when it comes to success in football.
"You are either still in good shape, or you are not," Robben commented.
His current coach Jupp Heynckes might count as a shining example as the 1974 world champion will turn 73 next May. Robben has made no secret wanting of to end his career with another title.
